TIB_Session

Declaration
Class procedure SetAlternateSession(ASession:TIB_Session );

Description
This class method is used to make two processes share a common default component session. This can be used in order to make DLL instances share the same component session as the main EXE that is calling into the DLL.

Otherwise, the global focusing mechanisms would not behave properly because it all operates within the context of a single component session. The assumption being that all user interface manipulations should be done in the main process and not in sub-processes.

Each DLL that contains IB Objects code that will interact with IB Objects code in the main process should export a procedure which will give it the main processes DefaultSession so that the DLL can set it as its AlternateSession. This will make them all operate based upon the very same component session.
